And Hamilton, too

Former Phonak rider Tyler Hamilton is also anxiously awaiting a verdict on his US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) arbitration hearing, which was now heard over a month ago in Denver, Colorado, between February 27 and March 2 this year.

"We hope to have a verdict fairly soon in my case," wrote Hamilton on his website, www.tylerhamilton.com. "It's an odd feeling waiting for a group of people to decide your fate. But out of respect for the process we accept that these things can take time."
